question about whole wheat ritz crackers..

[cher36]

I thought these were ok to eat, but it says right on the ingredients..."high fructose corn syrup"
I am starting to think i'd be better off eating wheat bread. Is this the end of my love affair w/ritz ?

In addition to the high fructose corn sugar (...which Macro has a post on here, let me find it .....) I bet it also has trans-fats, and are HIGHLY processed.

Wheat bread ain't a whole lot better, unless you get the dark, grainy, natural stuff.

I got the idea to eat the ritz on here. I think several people eat em'. Now what...triscit's maybe? I eat them with my daily can of tuna.
Geez sometimes it feels like Nothing is Allowed.

I like Ezikiel Bread, made from sprouted grains. I can get it from a local Nutrition Store. Its pretty good.. a bit more pricey though.

Try rice cakes

Plain unsalted are 7g carbs & 35 cal per cake

Rice cakes w/ natty PB & Polaner all-fruit are addicting!

I always thought the ricecakes were soooo bad and super high on the glycemic index?

It's just puffed long grain brown rice.

You just have to stick to the plain ones not the caramel covered or the other flavored ones.
